Episode 55: How Healthcare Workers Can Heal From Burnout | Lisa Dunlap
Do you feel like you’re so busy you can never catch a break? Are you taking care of everyone else’s needs except your own? This episode is for healthcare workers and anyone else whose job is burning them out.
If anyone knows what burnout feels like, it’s my guest Lisa Dunlap. Lisa is a Transformation Coach, Holistic Healer, and Adult-Geriatric NP. Nursing is a demanding job, especially during a pandemic. Lisa had to deal with the stress of being a nurse as well as a cancer scare and debilitating injury.
But if there’s one thing you can learn from my discussion with Lisa, it’s that there are ways to find joy even in the toughest of times. It starts with nurturing yourself and staying grounded in the present moment.
Lisa had many insights to share in this episode:
(3:46) “All my identities were getting peeled away” – Lisa’s story of working as a nurse as the pandemic started and suffering from her own health issues
(6:10) Lisa’s tips for how to break free from feelings of overwhelm
(7:25) How busy people can embrace self-nurture by combining it with everyday habits
(14:26) What to do when your stressed-out brain is stuck in fight-or-flight mode
(20:40) Lisa’s ideas for what companies in the healthcare space should do in order to promote employee wellness
(30:29) The inspiring lesson Lisa learned from her children that helped her get through her darkest time
(36:34) As a hospice nurse, Lisa explains how to express grief in a healthy way instead of letting it turn into anger
If you’re overwhelmed by your job or by life in general, checking in with yourself and acknowledging your feelings is a good place to start. Listen to everything Lisa says here as she shows you how you can find peace in the midst of overwhelm… just like she did.
